Quarter length

[muelly54]

How long of quarters do you all play?

Re: Quarter length

All depends on your style of play. I need at least 10 to get in a normal amount of plays in for non-no huddle teams.

Re: Quarter length

Depends on what you're doing. If you're an OC or DC and only play offense or defense then you could play longer quarters. But if you're playing both sides of the ball I usually play 8 minutes. 10 minutes seems like it'd take WAY too long.

I get only about 100-110 offensive plays at 8 and 9 minutes. 125-145 is the normal range. If I'm getting about 125-130 a game with teams that do not run no huddle, I think I'm good. If I'm getting 150-160 plays for two teams that run a lot of no huddle, I'm on the money. Still working on it. Testing 10 minute quarters in a bit. I'm not rush rush rush like some of you guys around here probably.

10 min w/ very slow gameplay.

Averaging around 125 combined plays per game.

Yea, I got 139 in my last game but the passing was dismal. Had there been more than 50% completed passes, fewer plays would have gotten run. Everything seems to fall into place at 10 minutes if you play a nice pace and the rates are what they should be.

Re: Quarter length

I only play 5 min quarters as an offensive coordinator and I get realistic scores. Once I move up to a head coach then i'll probably up it to 6 or 7 minutes.

I play 10 as well. I have only played 1 game so far and got 136 plays in that game. Seems right for me.

Re: Quarter length

I feel 9 min is very accurate to real life.

Re: Quarter length

I play 7 minute quarters as OC in dynasty. The scores are varied nicely. I also do a little bit of no huddle and get around 115 plays a game or so

So would you say 8 minutes would be good for OC/DCs? I play 9 minutes and get around 120 plays which is the magic number for me, but I haven't played OC or DC yet and am planning on starting a dynasty as one but need to know what's the best for realistic amount of plays?

Re: Quarter length

Are you guys talking about 100+ plays for one team or 100+ for both teams?

Do you run no huddle a lot, a little or never? Even if you do a little i would stil suggest doing 7 maybe 8. Try doing a few Play Now games but sim either the offense or defense. since this will be what its like in your dynasty. Do maybe two 7 minute games and two 8 minute games before you make up your mind. Hope this helps

Re: Quarter length

I generally play 7 min games. Although, if I'm simming/watching, I'll do 5 min
